Creede Repertory Theatre in Creede, CO has taken the old adage "the show must go on" and changed it to "wildfires are for pansies!" Despite three raging wildfires in Southern Colorado, the theatre is still opening my show Around the World in 80 Days tonight. Wildfires are for pansies! And exactly how do you get to the theatre? A police escort! "Highway 149 between South Fork and Creede is open to escorted traffic from 8AM to 10PM. Travelers going up [...]
I was commissioned to write a musical adaptation of the novel Tom Jones. Trying to schedule work time with my musical writing partner, Paul Mirkovich, has been tricky. Paul is the musical director of the TV show The Voice and his work schedule is insane. House elves have easier schedules (Ooo, Harry Potter reference geek alert). I'm hoping we'll have the music done by the end of the summer. In the meantime, I took the book for the musical and [...]

Suddenly my pictures aren't showing up on this blog. This is a test post. Nothing to see here folks.
Want to make a couple of fathers happy this Father's Day? Make your dad happy by taking him to the Off-Broadway show Around the World in 80 Days. You'll laugh and laugh. You can show your dad you're financially savvy by using the code "Dad" and saving 50% on the tickets. And you'll make this dad happy by contributing ever so slightly to my daughter's college fund.
This is a total shout-out to my musical writing partner, Paul Mirkovich. Not that he needs a shout-out. From me, of all people. When we're not writing mind-blowing, earth-shattering musicals like China - The Whole Enchilada and the upcoming Tom Jones - The Musical, Paul is the musical director for the TV show The Voice. And Paul and his band rock that show. Paul also produced Nicholas David's latest EP. Nicholas debuted his song Say Goodbye this week on The Voice. And [...]

It's Wednesday so it must be Pleading Day. I want a benefactor. There, I've said it. I know the idea of a benefactor seems old fashioned but I'd like to bring it back into vogue. I love writing and have had more success than I ever thought possible, but the financial demand of supporting a family while pursuing a career in the arts is nerve racking at best. Enter the benefactor. The grant giver. The angel. The philanthropist who has [...]
Well my show Around the World in 80 Days opened last night Off-Broadway. I started my day with a wonderful lunch with good friends at the Friars Club. Had a few drinks. Played some pool on the pool table Jackie Gleason practiced on for the film The Hustler. Had pre-show sushi and drinks with my manager. Saw the show. Had champagne at intermission (Are you sensing a pattern here?). Went to the after-show party. Had a drink. Went out and [...]
